One ecosystem. Three layers. Compounding value.
"We didn't set out to build a platform. We set out to be better investors and build a better Balearic startup scene."
Max Ventures was born from a clear ambition: to build a thriving technology ecosystem in the Balearic Islands. Patrick Visser took the first step by setting up a coworking space in central Palma and, with a close group of friends and fellow entrepreneurs, established Max Ventures Seed One, a €500,000 micro-fund, which invested in five early-stage startups.
As we ran the fund, we hit a universal investor problem: evaluating startups at scale is broken. Spreadsheets, inconsistent criteria, gut feel. So we built a tool to fix it - for ourselves. We called it Pynn. When we saw how transformative it was, we knew every innovation network needed it.
That decision launched an entirely new business - and turned our local vision into a global platform.

Serial entrepreneur and investor based on Mallorca. Decades of international business experience and a deep network in software, financial regulation and real estate. Founded Max Ventures with the conviction that the Balearics could become a serious hub for European innovation.

Serial founder with an operator background in B2B SaaS and marketplaces. Architect of the three-layer ecosystem strategy that turned an internal tool into a platform used by many networks worldwide.
350m² in central Palma at Plaza Mirador Remigia Caubet, 5. Home to portfolio companies, a growing community of founders, and a regular programme of pitch events, investor lunches, and ecosystem meetups.
Each layer creates value independently. Together they form a flywheel that gets stronger with every new participant.

All Pynn clients have their own private, branded ecosystems - managing their own deal flow and investor communities. But every one of those ecosystems is connected to AngelHive.
This is huge for both startups and investors.
A startup that applies to one Pynn community gains AI-scored visibility across all connected networks. Their score, data room, and track record travel with them. No re-application. No duplicated effort.
For investors, the value is symmetric: use Pynn to assess your own deal flow - and simultaneously access the global database of AI-scored startups across all connected communities. The platform centralises startup data to effectively match the right founders with the right investors, programmes, and grants.
By knowing all about the startups and all about the investor, our system can effectively match them with each other, globally, dramatically increasing efficiency in innovation worldwide.
On the platform, beyond assessments, we also offer access to resources such as: Events, Services & Tools, Subsidies & Grants, Perks, Jobs, News and Mentors.
"Every new community doesn't just add to the platform - they multiply the value for everyone already on AngelHive."

Five startups. €100,000 each. 4 of the 5 remain active and growing. Proof that there are great founders building ambitious projects. Max Ventures Seed One (MVSO) is itself a client of Pynn - and benefits from the same AI-assessed deal flow it helps power. We also manage and track the portfolio's growth within the Pynn system.
A curated group of 50+ angels based in or regularly visiting the Balearic Islands. Members get structured access to the best early-stage opportunities - filtered and scored by Pynn, with full access to AngelHive's global deal-flow marketplace.
BBA is a Pynn client. Every deal that reaches the monthly Investment Committee has been AI-assessed across various dimensions. Members invest smarter, not harder. Members have full control in what they invest in - we are not a fund, but simply a group of angels that act individually or can co-invest together.
Co-investing alongside our Pynn clients in the best European startups. The more Pynn clients we have, the wider the net, and the stronger the signal.
Seed Two co-invests alongside our Pynn clients. We don't lead - we follow alongside networks we trust, networks that use Pynn's AI to assess every deal. Our clients can also invite our other clients to co-invest, essentially forming an informal global syndicate of Pynn clients.
Where it makes sense, we steer founders and key hires toward Mallorca - feeding the local ecosystem we set out to build. Seed Two portfolio companies are encouraged to establish a presence in the Balearics.
